Kota Kinabalu: State Community Development and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk James Ratib wants the sale of industrial spirits to be regulated so that its consumption does not recur.
“The problem is the solvents are sold in random bottles. In the case involving the poisoning of 20 SMK Pinggan-Pinggan hostel students in Pitas recently, the solvents were resold in Tsingtao beer bottles which may come off as a little too enticing for those who want to get drunk.
“Even the labels are small and unclear. I know these spirits are used in construction but companies should make it clear that industrial solvents are not meant for human consumption. Strong chemicals like these should not be sold so easily.
